(Atlanta)-G.R.I.T.S. Productions presents the first annual CURVES Fashion Week. CURVES Fashion Week (CFW), an inclusive production of standard size and plus size fashion events, seminars, runway shows and a beauty tradeshow, will take place in Atlanta August 30, 2012-September 2, 2012.

This premiere production created to merge high fashion of all sizes will showcase the latest trends in fashion and beauty. CFW will provide a platform for global brands to connect with one of the most profitable consumer markets- people with CURVES. Set in one of the largest entertainment markets in the U.S., the classic southern culture of Atlanta will provide the perfect ambiance for industry insiders and celebrities alike.

“I’m so thrilled to produce CURVES Fashion Week,” said Galyn Fergerson, G.R.I.T.S. Productions founder and executive director of CFW.  “After years of being immersed in fashion and entertainment from acting to modeling and producing runway shows, it’s incredible to have an opportunity to be able to unite fashion lovers of all sizes because whether you’re size two or 22, everybody has curves.”

After being featured on the new TV One show, Love Addiction (premiering April 25), G.R.I.T.S. Productions is poised to debut CFW as the largest fashion and beauty production of the south.

Tickets for CURVES Fashion Week will go on sale June 1 at 10:00 a.m.  For more information about CURVES Fashion Week or to inquire about model and designer opportunities visitwww.curvesfashionweek.com.

CURVES Fashion Week schedule

Forget the Kardashians! With NBA basketball star Kris Humphries and his supermodel sister Kaela, Meet the Humphries can be the next reality tv hit. Kaela Humphries just landed a contract with FORD Model’s FORD+ This division specializes in representing plus-size talent.

Kaela Humphries is an professional, true size 16-18 plus size model, and will be working alongside FORD+ models such as Crystal Renn and Ashley Graham.

What could this opportunity lead to besides a glamorous modeling career? We could see a new famous sibling show. Maybe Tyra Banks will add America’s Next Top Plus Size Model. Luckily for Kaela, she was on the CW reality TV show, Remodeled.

Congrats to Kaela, as seen on the runway during New York Fashion Week, she is already off to an awesome start. She strutted her curves on the catwalk for Richie Rich POPLUXE Fashion Show at LAVO NY.

We are looking for 5 models for shooting segment. There will be a few speaking roles for the talent as well. The moral of the segment is, the actual Biker Club will be going to a local pub for drinks when they run into some really attractive women and ask the ladies if they would like to learn to ride a motorcycle and possibly join the biker club.

The models will then go from there to the biker club to chill dance listen to music and “party.”

(NOTE: This is just acting and we will not have any model in any unethical or immoral situations. Just come looking your best. Semi Club attire is the dress.)

Tshenelle S.F. Bethel is a plus size model born and currently reside in the twin island of Trinidad and Tobago. Although her modeling career is mainly in Trinidad, Tshenelle is open to traveling abroad to pursue more modeling opportunities in catalog, runway, and editorial. What is most important to her life right now is her focus on school. Tshenelle is currently reading for her Masters of Arts Degree in Human Communication at the University of the West Indies – St. Augustine, Trinidad campus. She describes herself as spiritual, optimistic and outgoing.

Who are your model icons?

What’s next for you in your career?

Tshenelle’s advice to aspiring models is, “Don’t give up! Your attitude determines your altitude. You may not be what the designer is looking for. You may not have the height. Trust me on that. I’m 5’2″. But, if you can walk the walk and radiate confidence, you’re halfway there. So stay positive.” A huge appreciation goes out to Tshenelle Bethel for her interview with The Aspiring Model blog!

Although she was born in California, plus model Jayde Ramos considers herself a Georgia Peach because she moved to the state at 7 years old. Married for 8 years, Jayde is thankful to be in a position right now to focus on her modeling career and doing things that she enjoys. She is currently working on a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

The best characteristic Jayde has to make her modeling career successful is persistence. At the age of 20, Jayde and her husband started a business together. Unfortunately, they lost everything – personal and business- when the economy went down, but Jayde says she would not take back that experience for anything. Although it was the hardest time of her life, Jayde learned so much about what she needed and wanted as well as what is most important to her. Now she is happier than ever!
